Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

headaches and nausea after MC... cytotec or hormones?

Hi everyone. Looking for those who have taken cytotec or anyone really that may have feedback...
On June 12th I was diagnosed with Missed Miscarriage. Baby passed 3 weeks prior. 10 days ago Friday June 19th I did my 2 rounds of cytotec. Had a lot of blood loss (went to ER but they just gave me fluids and stronger pain meds) and vomitting/diarrhea.
Im still struggling with bad headaches throughout the day and nausea sometimes with vomitting. I've been drinking water and eating as well/as much as I can without upsetting my stomach and continuing prenatals. The rest of me feels better, I want to get up and do stuff but as soon as I do I regret it. Tried all types of pain medicine and nothing helps much.
Anyone else experience this? Could it be an after-effect of the cytotec or maybe the hormones dropping? (did some reading and came accross that possibility). Just want this to be over, anyone can relate or have advice? Thanks!

Edited to add: I was 12w4d when the pregnancy passed and when I saw OB last week he just suggested rest and water like I was already doing.

  • It could definitely be the recovery period after a loss, when hormone levels in your body are the least stable. Cytotec caused headaches for me, but only for the first day or two. Ten days is a long time for that kind of side effect. Keep drinking lots of water (make sure to have an electrolyte source in there occasionally, too) and resting. but it the headache persists another week or gets worse, I wouldn't hesitate to call your doctor again.

    All advice given based on lengthy personal experience.
